HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. Tats DAY.—Morning, lh. 450:L.—Afternoon, 212. 802. ro-x05.8.0w.-Morning, 2h. 31m.—Afternoon, 2h. 58m. t .1, ---k4 es, bf giNnny LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1864. The Civil War in America has furnished innu merable events for comment, reflection, and contem plation during its progress, but one of the most str;king and singular coincidences of the whole affair seems to harp bean the persistency or infatua tion with which the Northern people resolve to apear what they are not, and to go on as if the p - Union were really in existence now the same as in the days of most palmy pride. It seems very difficult to comprehend the possibility of such Inconsistency, and lookersion must find it a com plete pnzzle to them. The very celebration of the e poch is a mockery at this juncture, and if they really had a confident hope of ultimate triumphing, while the war continues it is a farce to act as if the spirit of unity reigned paramount. The very Declaration of I n d ependence i tse lf is a contradiction I in terms to the aspect of affairs at prese nt ; it sets forth that the Governments only derive just rights from the will of the governed, an d that ail wh o disagree with the peculiar forna of such govern meat and consider it prej u di c i al to ,heir have a right to alter and abolish P Thisa bappinesa, as far as possible, because "h a " is going Pinness" takes in a much wider scope than m ere ly r i g h ts or liberty. t is a satire on those who will presume on the perfectibility of their works, that this model Re public, the pride and glory of its fo u nd ers , and the env y of many other states, should thus suddenly have come to grief, and so completely have over thrown the expectations of all who looked for a long and prosperous career. However sad or strange the failure may b•?, it does not mend matters for the Federals to ignora the present, and pretend that they are living in good old times. Such inconsis tency can only draw down upon them the contempt and ridicule of all who 1011204 the iniguAtion. Ji is surely an insult to common sense for men to go about with the paraphernalia of rejoicings, supposed to celebrate the feast of unity and the triumph of concord, when their swords have made women childless, and while multitudes of widows and orphans are thronging the highways. If led by the spirit of intolerance the Americans had hitherto kept up the delusive mockery of the anni versary of the glorious fourth, this year imperatively and emphatically called upon them to stop, Even w for the sake of argument, that they suc ceedg' in conquering their opponents and drag back i a their w andering flocks to the folds and renew the lia o ld times, still what can account for their celebrate ing as unity a state of things which has had no parallel in in the annals of history for misery, confu sion, and affliction. What with the complicated nature of the dispute, the strength which the quar rel had gained during the long years it had been pent up, ana the extensive means of warfare, to gether with the indomitable spirit of one side of the belligerents, and the fierce persecution which ani- L mated the other; the war has assumed from the out. set a force and magnitude which have been extra ordinary. The beholding nations have gazed and trembled; and those of foresight have all along predicted that, when once the disputing parties had resort to arms, long and terrible would be the con test that would ensue. It is a curious thing, and one that most effectively points the moral to this strange affair, that the day before the celebration of the " fourth," an individual should have departed this life whose existence had comprised more than the term of years that the glorious Republic of Wesue INGTON had seen. The Hon. JOSIAH QUINCY, of Boston, Massachusetts, was a British sub ject by birth, sixteen years older than the Union and the Federal constitution. It is true that his life was prolonged beyond the *ordinary limit, bat who that signed that declara tion or hailed its advent among them but trusted and believed it was to last through succeeding generations, and that their children's children should transmit it inviolate and uncorrupt to the limits of a distant posterity. All human works must be insecure and unstable at the best, and perhaps the chief danger that has lurked in the structure of the American Union has been the denial of this fact. We have heard of boasting that knew no bounds—satire on the forms of go vernment of different nations that never practised reticence—but of diffidence in their own creations, and doubts of their own wisdom, there has never been the shadow of a suspicion or the murmur of a doubt. What a lesson does the death of the vene rable QUINCY afford to those flashed and elated with the pride of life, and eager in the expectation of the fruition of their plans ! His last thoughts must have been indeed peculiar, and the retrospect of his career was a history in itself alike a romance and a tragedy. His existence had witnessed the failure of the opposite extremes of Government, the insecurity of monarchical rule carried to un wise extremities, and the instability of republican notions when not sustained by principle and carried out with consistency. The conclusion to be drawn from this remarkable state of things would seem to be the reversal of the old adage, " Measures and not men," It does not matter so much what form of government is adopted if only it is carried out with integrity, if independence does not degee nerate into the loss of all restraint, and regal power is not merged into that absolutism which confuses the just relations of society. It was the I fashion a short time back for some of our politicians to laud and praise the American Union, and hold it up as an object of far greater worth and regard than our time-honoured Constitution that has stood so many tests and been the wonder of so many other nations. It is not likely that these admirers of Transatlantic institutions will confess their mistake 7-------*1 ey have imbibed u“.l-• 41—:- ---A i' ,, ,• +h. Republic, no small share of the bumptiousness which characterises the denizens of the cities of that Republic ; but their hearers must remember their glowing accounts of the wonders of the Union, and contrast the past with the present. The institution has not lasted a century, and we might regret its abrupt termination, if we did not remember the false principles that have actuated those who hare had. the charge of carrying out its precepts. The mantle of its founders has fallen on those who were inspired by no elevated ideas, and determined to stop at nothing and spare no one who came in their way. It would be well if JOSIAH QUINCY had car ried with him to the grave the last remnants of a strife that is so desolating, and that the record of the Union might henceforth be one of the things of the past. The advantages and conveniences afforded by the metropolitan railways are acknowledged on all hands, notwithstanding the temporary annoyance and discomfort which they frequently occasion. It has indeed been felt to be wise to curtail their scope and to put some limits to that spirit of en terprise and speculation which threatened at one time to render the centre of the metropolis little more than a vast terminus. But on the whole the general feeling is in favour of a moderate exten sion of the metropolitan lines, and their promoters have received a fair support from the great body of the people. This has notably been the case with one of the mast important of the proposed lines—the Hampstead and Charing-cross Railway. It will be remembered that one conspicuous feature of this scheme was the formation of a new street between the upper part of St. Martin's.lane and the south end of Tottenham-court-road. Such a street is greatly needed ; for although there are plenty of thoroughfares, little dirty crooked bye ways for the most part, there is no broad clean open highway, such as is required by the constant traffic of that part. The railway in opening such a street would be conferring a benefit upon foot passengers as well as the travellers on its own lines, and there is no question that the prospect of this material advantage considerably modified the opposition to the scheme. The inhabitants of the main throroughfares, which would be affected by the progress of the works, naturally felt some uneasiness when the idea was first suggested; but, in contradistinction to the residents in many other places similarly situated, they agreed to support the bill, and withdrew the opposition that had at first been made in their name. It is no wonder, then, that considerable disappointment and indignation should be felt by the inhabitants of these districts on the receipt of notices by the authorities of the intention of the promoters of the Hempstead, Midland, North Western, and Charing Cross Junction Railway to abandon the most important portion of their bill, and ^ot lino to e proceed with any portion oposedf their pro. beyond Ampthill-square, Hampstead road, where it is to join the London and North- Western. So that all the subway from that spot to but sating also f a o t Charing Cron is to be to abandoned,the company, o m p a a t u y t h , e course of great expe n se the sacrifice of the public convenience. The new street through St. Giles's is heard no more of, and the inhabitants of St. Pancras and other places who inconvenience for the that have been W illi ng to su b m it to much temporary en stahkeeyoafrtehitso be rewarded forbill as it originally . tocoodn, ve now End t their forbearance by something very like a breach of fait4 on the part of the oniony. The residents THE 817'N, LONDON, TUESDAY EVANING, JULY 191 1864. of High-street, Camden Town, and its vicinity find I that the only benefit which this much-talked-of line is to confer upon them is to transport them over (or under) a distance which they might very easily walk. If they are to travel by the circumlo• eution route of the London and North-Western line, they may as well start from the station at the Eagle and avoid the annoyance of a junction. It is very plain that the company feel themselves altogether in the wrong in this matter, for by an ingenious piece of management that bill has been hurried through the Lower House without giving the opportunity of opposition on the part of the discontents. It was hoped, perhaps, that the ad ditional expense of opposition in the House of Lords would deter those who felt themselves aggrieved from pursuiLg their resolution so far. Happily such is not the case, for Sir JOHN SHELLEY intimated that the parties interested would carry their opposition to the Upper House. On the assembling of the Commons last Wednes day for private business, Sir JOHN SHELLEY called attention to what he very appropriately styled a piece of sharp practice the day before. The com. mittee on the North Western and Charing-cross Railway Bill had, he said, come to a conclusion greatly affecting the interests of many residents in the northern part of London, and these persons were prepared to take steps to oppose the bill. They received, however, no notice that the bill was to be brought on at the twelve o'clock sitting on Tues day until ten o'clock on the morning of that day: Sir JOHN SHELLEY very justly said this was no notice at all, and the consequence was that increased expense and delay would be inevitable. Other members supported this com plaint, and it was agreed that twenty-four hours' notice, at the least, should be given in a matter of this kind. It certainly does not improve the case of the Company, who are evidently aware that they have incensed the parties interested by their breach of faith, and who had too much reason to anticipate opposition to be willing to give dissents tients a fair opportunity of stating their grievances. This is not the way to conciliate the public, nor to induce other districts to lend a willing assistance to the schemes of new projectors. Already there is some uneasiness felt respecting the manner in which bills of this kind are hurried through Pars liament, and only yesterday " A Citizen," writing to a contemporary, complains of the haste with which the Metropolitan Districts Bill is being passed through the necessary stages. This bill, which largely affects the City, and indeed the metropolis generally, commences its operations at Tower-hill, and passes to Blackfriars, where it joins the Thames embankment, going from thence along Victoria street to Chelsea. It was approved by the Corpora tion of London, the Metropolitan Board, and others, but the Select Committee have shown it consider. able favour, granting the unusual indulgence of seven years for its construction. This is somewhat extraordinary, as it is admitted that none of the necessary funds are yet subscribed, and therefore the whole project bears too much the appearance of a speculation, to have much claim on public consideration. How ever, it is but just to add that when it was moved in the House yesterday, that 'the bill be read a third time, Lord STANLEY, the chairman of the committee, and other members spoke strongly in its favour. There are of course many arguments pro and con, but the public are anxious that all matters of this kind should be thoroughly sifted, and it is not enough to tell them that measures of this kind are only framed with a view to the general good. They require ample and convincing proof that it is so, and a metropolitan railway is a work of such time, expense, and labour, involving so many and • such various interests that full time should be allowed for the consideration of . ____ ,T, ~... ~ " .„ 2 .,.., .., less p7nry , -- 1 .....- - can certainly make no great difference in a task of such magnitude ; but it might be supposed, from the haste with which such schemes are pressed forward, that a day's delay might be fatal. Un questionably the public derive great and lasting benefit from railways, but they had need watch over their own interests in regard to them notwith standing. Garibaldi and Frangois Victor Hugo, M.

CRIMSON.—The silk dress that one insect makes, another can dye magnificently. The insect called kermes or chermes, nearly related to the cochineal, and used for dyeing before cochineal was known, gives its name to the colour that the French call cramoisi, and the English crimson. In the middle ages the insect was supposed to be pteduced from a worm, and was described as vermiculaturn, whence comes the name in French of vermeil, and in Eng lish of vermillion. Bermes is found in many parts of Asia, and in the South of Europe, and is very common in the south of France, whore it lives on a small evergreen oak, Another kind of it, known also before the cochineal or coccus of the cactus, is common in Poland and Russia, and has been an important article of commerce under the name of the "scarlet grain of Poland." It is found in England on the roots of the perennial knarvel, a plant not uncommon in Norfolk and SuffJlk.—Dickenz' "Ale the Year Round." NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS AT THE SEAT OF WAR.—I was writing in my tent yesterday when a Minis bullet came whizzing through the canvas, passing just by Captain Bradley, Captain Zaft, and Lieut.

General Wilson's losses in the recent raid are ascertained to have been between 2,000 and 3,000. Thirteen hundred negroes whom he kidnapped during the early part of his expedition were rescued. General Sigel evacuated Harper's Ferry and re treated across the Potomao to Maryland Heights, destroying the iron bridge of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway at that point, on the 4th. The Con. federates also crossed the Potomac on the same day, and at 4 p.m. were preparing to assault General Sigel's position. Great alarm exists in the Border towns and counties, and also serious apprehensions for the safety of Washington and Baltimore. The sinking of the Alabama by the Kearsage has caused great rejoicing.

O n the frontier it was Bashee in force, and had coma in col lision with the mounted police. Official telegrams, from the Governor to the Commander of the Forces, required th'o latter to proceed to the frontier im mediatoly, with every available man in the garri' son. Accordingi,y, the Commander of the Forcee had started in the Valorous with the 2d battalion of the 11th Regiment, and a detachment of artil. lery with a battery of Armstrong guns, for East London. The Cape Town Volunteers had tendered their services for garrison duty. Later advices from the frontier reported this alarm to have been in a great measure groundless, nothing like actual collision having token 'Ace. Kreli had been irritated by the reported intention of the Governor to remove the Tambookies from their Queenstown locations into Transkei, and on that account the chief had been assuming a threat ening tone. In return the Governor was desirous of making a warlike demonstration. The British authorities considered there was no fear of any actual disturbances, and it was likely that the Governor would reconsider the Tambookie question. The boundary line between the Orange Free State and the Basutas will in all probability be amicably settled.

Sir,—The following is an extract of a letter re ceived by me this morning from Darrynane Abbey: "Two steamers were fighting off the Bull Rock on Monday evening (11th) supposed to be Americans. At Darynane the shots were heard from 5 to 7 p.m., and the dairyman in Scariff saw the ships and says his cattle wore nearly driven mad by the firing. One vessel seemed to him to be on fire. One went to the north, the other out to sea, after a while.' The Bull Rock is just to the north of Bantry Bar and ten north of the Bull liock.—Your obedien servant, DANIEL O'C ONNELL. Kilarney, July 16. Manifesto of the Confederate States, JOINT RESOLUTIONS DECLARING THE DISPOSITION OV PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES IN RELATION TO THE EXISTING WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES. Whereas : It is due to the great cause of humanity and civilisation, and especially to the heroic sacrifices of their gallant army in the field, that no means, consistent with a proper self-respect and the approved usages of nations, should be omitted by the Confederate States to enlighten the public opinion of the world with regard to the true cha racter of the struggle in which they are engaged, and the dispositions, principles, and purposes by which they are actuated ; therefore, Resolved by the Congress of the Confederate States of America : That the following manifesto be issued in their name, and by their authority, and that the President be re quested to cause copies thereof to be transmitted to our com missioners abroad, to the end that the same may be laid before foreign governments. MANIFESTO OF THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA RELATIVE TO THE EXISTING WAR WITH THE UNITED' STATES. The Congress of the Confederate States of America, acknowledging their responsibility to the opinion of the civilised world, to the great law of Christian philanthropy, and to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, for the part they have been compelled to bear in the sad spectacle of war and carnage, which this continent has for the last three years exhibited to the eyes of afflicted humanity, deem the present a fitting occasion to declare the principles, the sentiments, and the purposes by which they have been, and are still, actuated. They have ever deeply deplored the necessity which con strained them to take up arms in defence of their rights, and of the free institutions derived from their ancestors ; and there is nothing they more ardently desire than peace, whensoever their enemy, by ceasing from the unhallowed war waged upon them, shall permit them to enjoy in peace the sheltering protection of the hereditary rights and those cherished institutions. The series of successes with which it has pleased Almighty God in so signal a manner to bless our arms on almost every point of our invaded border since the opening of the present campaign, enables us to profess this desire of peace in the interest of civilisation and hu manity, without danger of having our motives misinter preted, of the declaration being ascribed to any unmanly sentiment or any mistrust of our ability fully to maintain our cause. The repeated and disastrous checks, foreshadowing ultimately discomfiture, which their gigantic army, erected against the capital of the Confederacy, has already met with, are but a continuation of the same providential sue.. ceases for us. We do not recur to these successes in any spirit of vain boasting, but in hunble acknowledgment of that Almighty protection which has vouchsafed and granted them. _ The world must now nee that 8,000,000 of people inhabit ing so extensive a territory, with such varied resources and such numerous facilities for defence as the benignant bounty of nature has bestowed upon us, and animated with one spirit to encounter every sacrifice of ease, of health, of pro perty, of life itself, rather than be degraded from the condi tion of free and independent States, into which they were born, can never be conquered. Will not our adversaries themselves begin to feel that humanity has bled long enough, that tears and blood and treasure enough have been expended in a bootless undertakin g,covering their own land no less than ours with a pall of mourning,and exposing them far more than ourselves to, the catastrophe of financial exhaustion and bankruptcy, not to speak of the loss of their liberties by the despotism engendered in an aggressive warfare upon the liberties of another and kindred people? Will they be willing, by a longer perseverance in a wanton and hopeless contest, to make this continent, which they so long boasted to be the chosen abode of liberty and self-government, of peace and a higher civilisation, the theatre of the most causeless and prodigal effusion of blood which the world has ever seen, of a virtual relapse into the barbarism of the ruder ages, and of the destruction of constitutional freedom by the lawlessness of usurped power ? These are questions which our adversaries will decide for themselves. We desire to stand acquitted before the tri bunal of the world, as well as in the eyes of Omniscient Justice, of any responsibility for the origin or prolongation of a war as contrary to the spirit of the age as to the tra ditions and acknowledged principles of the political system of America. On this continent, whatever opinions may have prevailed elsewhere, it has ever been held and acknowledged by all parties that government, to be lawful, must be founded on the consent of the governed. We were forced to dissolve our Federal connection with ant former associates by their aggressions en the fundamental principles of our compact of union with them; and in doing so we exercised a right consecrated in the great charter of American liberty—the right of a free people, who a GovenameAt proven deem tive of the ends for which it was established, to recur to the original principles, and to institute new guards for their security. The separate independence of the States as the sovereign and coequal members of the Federal Union, had never been surrendered, and the pretensions of applying to independent communities, so constituted and organised, the ordinary rules for coercing and reducing rebellious sub jects to obedience was a solecism in terms, as well as an outrage on the principles of publio law. The war made upon the Confederate States was, there fore, wholly one of aggression. On our side it has been strictly defensive. Born freemen and the descendants of a gallant ancestry, we had no option but to stand up in de fence of our invaded firesides, of our desecrated altars, of of our violated liberties and birthright, and of the prescrip tive institutions which guard and protect them, We have not interfered, nor do we wish in any manner whatever to interfere with the internal peace and prosperity of the States array:a in hostility against us, or with the freest develop ment of their destinies,in any form of action or line of policy they may think proper to adopt for themselves, All we ask is a like immunity for ourselves, and to be left to ourselves in the undisturbed enjoyment of those inalineable rights of " life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness," which our common ancestors declare to be the equal heritage of all the parties to the social compact. Let them forbear aggressions upon us, and the war is at an end. If there be questions which require adjustment by negotiations, we have ever been willing, and are still willing, to enter into communication with our adversaries in a spirit of peace, of equity, and of manly frankness. Strong in the persuasion of the justice of our cause, in the manly devotion of our citizen soldiers, and of the whole body of our people, and above all the gracious protection of Heaven, we are not afraid to avow a sincere desire for pease on terms consistent with our honour and the permanent security of our rights, and an earnest aspiration to see the world once more restored to the beneficent pursuits of industry and of mutual intercourse and exchanges so essential to its well-being, and which have been so gravely interrupted by the existence of this unnatural war in America. But if our adversaries, or those whom they have placed in power, deaf to the voice of reason and justice—steeled to the dictates of prudence and humanity by a presumptuous and delusive confidence in their own numbers, or those of their black and foreign mercenaries, shall determine upon an indefinite prolongation of the contest, upon them be the responsibility of a decision so ruinous to themselves and so injurious to the interest and repose of mankind. For ourselves, we have no fear of the result. The wildest picture ever drawn by a disordered imagination comes short of the extravagance which would dream of the oonquest of eight millions of people, resolved with one mind "to die freemen rather than live slaves," and forewarned by the savage and exterminating spirit in which this war has been waged upon them, and by the mad avowals of the supporters of the worse than Egyptian bondage that awaits them in the event of their subjugation. With these decla rations of our dispositions, our principles and our purposes, we commit our cause to the enlightened judgment of the world, to the sober reflections of our adversaries themselves, and to the solemn and righteous arbitrament of Heaves. Threatening the Lives of the Prince of Wales and Sir George Grey, Yesterday afternoon Edward Pope, a young man of about thirty, and apparently well educated, Was placed at the bar of the Bow - street Police-court, before Mr. Vaughan, to answer the charge of having addressed threatening letters to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to the Home Secretary, and others of her Majesty's subjects, by which theirlives were endangered. The prisoner was brought np by warrant, in the custody of Williamson, the chief inspector at Scot land-yard, and Sergeants Thomas and Langley, also of the detective force. On entering the court he showed a strong indisposition to enter the prisoners' dock, apparently preferring the reporters' box ; but after some persuasion Sergeant Thomas prevailed upon him to take his place at the bar, and the case was then proceeded with. Sergeant Thomas, being sworn, said—On Satur• day last I received the letter produced from Mr. Halswall, the Middlesex magistrate, and chairman of the governors of ll2nwell Lunatic Asylum. The letter is addressed to Dr. Bagley, the medical superintendent of that establishment, and is signed "E. Pope." I know the letter and signature to be both in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr Burnaby, chief cleric, read the letter pro. duced, which was as follows : Chelsea, July 1. Dr. Bagley,—l know not by what inscrutable means you ,nduced me to forego the rights which Chatterton con ferred upon me about this time last year. That you did practise upon me is evident from the fact that I was no sooner freed from your bondage than the re collection of all that Chatterton had told me dawned gradu- What is more, in obedience to my earnest prayers, be has condescended to renew those visits which my slavish obedience to you had induced him to discontinue. He has repeated the invitations which he gave me on a prior occasion, and has commanded me to take a deadly vengeance upon those who have united to persecute me. Three months in the devilish hole at Boulogne Eleven months in the hideous prison at Hanwell ! Good God I what measure of vengeance can repay me for all that I have suffered during that time I English Consul at Boulogne, your doom is sealed. • Sir George Grey, your fate is nigh at hand. You have but hours to live. You, 0 incarnate imposter and chief of liars and usurpers, a terrible vengeance is waiting you. The measure that is meted to your servant Grey shall be meted unto you. And your vile agent of a wicked Government shall re ceive their share in the reward of those who are condemned by their acts. All who have injured me shall suffer, but notably Grey and the impostor. They shall feel how bit terly, how deadly is the revenge of one who has been served as I have been—who has been trampled upon as I have been—who had been contemned and persecuted as I have been. _ _ Say lam mad ? No one will believe you! Can a mad man speak as I speak ? act as I act ? think as I think P write as I write ? Beware of my vengeance in the time to come I Not yet My first victims are Grey and the impostor. Ah, my God, how smart that will be I 0 God, I thank Thee with tears of joy for giving me the opportunity of working out this deed. No note of warning I No foolish scrawl warning them of their coming fate I Deadly silent—silent as the grave. Beware, 0 wretched doctor. Your turn will come by and by.—l sign •nyself, that you may know me, EDMUND C. POPE. By the Court—l know the prisoner's handwriting from having seen him write frequently, and I have some of the blotting paper used by him also. Mr. Vaughan—ls Dr. Bagley hers ? Witness—No; I have only had tho prisoner in custody about an hour and a half. He was taken into custody on Friday at Gravesend, for threaten ing the life of the mayor of that town. Three letters, already sealed and bearing postage stamps, were found upon him. _ _ _ The letters were then opened and read by direction of the court, the first being as follows, addressed to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales : To the Impostor calling himself " Prince of Wales."- 0 vile impostor, wretched tool of a wicked clique, know that the avenger is at hand, who will speedily hurl thee down from thy lofty station which thou hast for so long held in the plenitude of honour I This letter was signed "Beware." The second letter was addressed "To Sir G. Grey, Home-office," and signed "The Avenger Yon, in cinnivance with that infernal Dr. Bagley, of the lianwell Asylum, and the Impostor, have brought ruin and disdain upon men, Eleven months' imprisonment at and three at Boulogne, cry out for revenge. Beware, for your term of life is short indeed. It is in my hands. The taking of it will be a meritorious execution and no murder. You, with your master, that vile impostor 'F'ho usurps my station, shall fall by my hand. I shall give you uo warning of the time. lam commanded by a higher power to say no more.—l am, in eternal hatred, THE A/ENGER. The third letter was addressed to the English consul at Boulogne, and was couched in similar term. . Mr. Vaughan—Are you prepared to say that these letters also are in the handwriting of the prisoner ? Sergeant Thomas—Yes, they are. Prisoner (to witness)—When did you ever seems write P Witness-1 saw you write several letters, about a year ago, when you were in custody on a similar charge at the King-street station. You wrote let ters both in the French and English language. Mr. Vaughan (to prisoner)—Have you any other questions to ask ? The prisoner made no reply to this question, and when it was repeated by Buck, the warrant officer, he said, "Hold your tongue." Mr. Vaughan remanded the prisoner.
